Randy Moss
Career Stats: 218 games played (193 starts), 982 receptions, 15,292 yards, 156 TD
Moss goes by the moniker “The Freak,” which sums up everything about his style of play. He was a character from a computer game brought to life. 4.3 speed with a 40-inch vertical are simply unimaginable inside a 6-foot-4 torso. Few rookies had a bigger impact than Moss, despite the fact that his off-the-field problems caused him to slip in the selection. The Marshall sensation established the foundation for an illustrious career by scoring 17 touchdowns in his rookie campaign. The dynamic duo of Moss and gunslinger Daunte Culpepper was finally formed, but it wasn’t until 2007 that his full potential was realized. Tom Brady and the potent New England attack helped Moss set the record for most touchdown receptions in a season (23). He gained a devoted fan base and a place in the Hall of Fame thanks to his laid-back personality and long pass execution skills.
Jerry Rice
Career Stats: 303 games played (284 starts), 1,549 receptions, 22,895 yards, 197 TD
The pinnacle of all receivers is Rice. Every WR in the league has made an effort to model a minor aspect of their game after him during the past 20 years. It was unnecessary for him to be the fastest, tallest, or most athletic person. Rice ran clear patterns and possessed the most sure hands in football history, which made it easier for his quarterbacks to complete passes. He completely destroyed every record he ever set throughout his career. He has 171 more receptions than the runner-up, 5,812 more yards, and 41 more touchdowns. Many consider him to be the best player of all time, regardless of position, due to his overwhelming dominance over the rest of the group at his position.
